|  I bringeth the Datsun!
Something new for my Ultra. I made a 3D grill and bed hinge for it. I'll run velco up front like all my bodies.   Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk |

Would you mind checking the width and length of the body? We were trying to figure that out when it first got shown.

Wheelbase is somewhere around 12.3" (I already trimmed off the fenders) Width 7" It fits my VS410 like a glove. Sliders, frame rails, etc. all line up perfectly. *Manufacturer advertised wheel base is 309mm | |

Lovin' it! In high school a best bud of mine had an orange one, with a beer tap shifter, bench seat, and a cut-n-shut rollbar from a Chevy K10 barely mounted in the bed - ran the smallest Goodyear Wranglers sold at the time on aluminum 5-slot wheels, used to hit the mud bogs at speed and just hydroplane across - I used to stand in the bed hanging on to the roll bar but it only had a couple bolts holding it on, got pretty scary bouncing around back there...  Sigh... I suppose I'll end up starting a body swap program with my trucks - I do NOT need anymore vehicles but I do want more bodies! |

Dat Grill! Looks great, guessing you may have designed some light buckets to round it out? My body collection is also growing at disproportional rate these days...lol |

Thats it! Been messing with the idea of building a “class 2.5” rig to bang on. That pic sold me on it. Might just borrow your body idea! Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yeah, the deeper grill might even be nicer. It’s always a treat to see a new/different body. What you’ve done there not only looks great but is perfect as a performance body. A++
